Another World’s Highest Guild Leader ~I’m the weakest in the guild, but I can’t quit the guild because of the heavy love of all the guild members~ - Chap 57: Safe and Secure Gambling (Battle Royale)

“Gambling Battle Royale?”

I tilt my head, increasingly confused.

“You should ask the staff for a detailed explanation, not me.”

“Did you call for me?”

A man in a suit appears with a swish. It’s Mr. Satoda.

“I didn’t call you, but… please.”

“Yes, let me explain. At Orphen Resort, we are committed to providing the highest level of service for our guests’ relaxation. However, this means we cannot lower our prices.”

“I see.”

“Therefore, we introduced this Gambling Battle Royale system.”

Hmm… so that’s the reasoning behind it.

“The mechanism of the Gambling Battle Royale is quite simple. It’s a one-on-one duel, and losing means falling off that circular stage.”

“Is there some kind of penalty game if you lose?”

“It’s not a penalty game, but… your stay gets reduced to zero.”

“Oh?”

“For example, Crow-sama, you have the right to stay for a week. But if you lose in the Gambling Battle Royale, your right to stay will be transferred to your opponent.”

“So, my right to stay for a week goes to my opponent, and I can’t stay here anymore?”

“That’s correct. The more you win in the Gambling Battle Royale, the longer your stay extends. If you defeat an opponent with a week’s stay three times, you get three weeks… This Gambling Battle Royale is essentially a chance for a reversal of fortunes.”

Indeed, it’s obvious that the wealthy have longer stays. If you keep winning against such opponents, living in the resort permanently isn’t just a dream.

“You must stay for at least one day to participate in the Gambling Battle Royale. That means a minimum payment of 150,000 yen…”

It’s expensive, but considering the chance to live here forever, it’s relatively cheap…

“About the match, we judge fairly to prevent any unfair advantages. No matter how much money is offered, we will be supported. Also, we have healers on standby to prevent injuries, ensuring a safe and secure Gambling Battle Royale.”

The staff here seem strong enough to take down S-class monsters.

“By the way, Crow-sama’s and Yarimar-sama’s group, who use premium tickets, are given a four-day right to refuse participation. However, if you accept even one match within a day, you are considered to be participating in the Gambling Battle Royale for that day. In other words, if challenged, you must accept the duel.”

“Is that rest right the reason it’s premium?”

“That is correct.”

It’s both a relief and not.

Offering the highest level of hospitality to everyone indiscriminately might be a good thing.
“Oh, looks like it’s just about over.”
Distracted by Satoda’s words, I turned my gaze and saw a man walking towards us, probably the winner of the recent match. His face is all smug.
“Well, well, Mr. Jin. Congratulations on your continuous victories today.”

“Yeah. Staff, announce my winning record.”

“Yes, 449 wins and 0 losses.”

“Ha ha ha! Hear that, boy? I am the ruler of Orli Resort. And my name is ‘Undefeated Jin,’ Jinjiber-sama!”

He starts bragging without anyone asking. Jinjiber sounds confusingly similar to Jingle Bells.

“I was called useless and expelled from my previous guild. But they must regret losing someone as capable as me now. My ability is ‘to bring down anything.’ It might not seem much, but it’s a super, super, super cheat! I’ve been staying in Orli Resort for a year, defeating all the strong ones. No one can beat me! No one can stop me! Ha ha ha!”

He goes on and on, bragging without anyone listening.

“How about it, boy? You’re lucky to meet the undefeated Jin. Want to challenge me? If you win, you get my stay period.”

He challenges me even though I haven’t said a word.

“Nii-ni, aren’t you going to play with Yuma and the others?”

“Of course, I’ll play. So don’t look so sad, Yuma.”

I pat Yuma’s head gently.

Now, what to do? I’d use my right to refuse if I had it.

“Yarimar, shall we challenge this man?”

“I don’t like it, but if you’re suggesting it, you must have some plan.”

“Well, there is one.”

“Oh, you intend to beat the undefeated Jin… Ha ha ha, I’ll accept that challenge!!”
